Liner Notes

Old and new: a song in it's lyrics and piano form was created 2 years ago. Vocals and vocal melody was created during this FAWM. We hope it is okay to share it as the vocal melody is totally new. Thank you so much to everyone for listening and for sharing your thoughts.

Lyrics

Like a flash In a thunderous night You brought a love Fiery and bright

Suddenly I Wanted to play Dreams echoed back Like a serenade

Chorus:

Will it last Are my hopes the same as yours I know it’s something I Can’t ignore

Will we thrive In summers’ heat And be warm In a winter freeze

Our spirits soared Elated and thrilled Stars above Never stood still

Your eyes read mine And I believe Kindness knew Every heartbeat

Chorus:

Will it last Are my hopes the same as yours I know it’s something I Can’t ignore

Will we thrive In summers’ heat Will we be warm In a winter freeze

Then like wind Our love touched down Squares weren’t square And circles weren’t round

I don’t give up That’s the way I am But I question Our tracks in the sand

Chorus:

Will it last Are my hopes the same as yours WE know it’s something we Can’t ignore

Will we thrive In summers’ heat And be warm In a winter freeze

Will we be warm In a winter freeze

Sehr schön! Gesang/Klavier starker Beitrag!

Could work in a Disney movie or a Broadway show. Beautiful piano and vocals bring these wonderful lyrics to life. Excellent three-way collab, all of you!

@andrea 2d

It's such a beautiful love song, I was saddened that the questions asked may not be that they belong together 😢I will still hope it works out. I love Nadia's piano, and Kate's vocals. Everything is a perfect fit. Amazing collab ❤️❤️❤️

@stellamvh11 2d

This song is incredible, the vocals and piano work together so well. So sweet!

@jerrypettit 2d

This is FAWM Heaven for me--a collaboration by three of my favorite people on here. Terrific collaboration. Beyond Perfection! ❤️❤️❤️

Nadia strikes again.... nice piano sound.. like the rest as well...

@ruby 4d

What a fantastic collab!! Sometimes it takes time for it all to come together and boy has this all come together. Just mesmerising. Love it.

@cola 4d

Wow, gorgeous!! Nadia's delicate piano playing, Kristi's poetic lyrics, and Kate's clear and expressive voice are a winning combo indeed. Stunning work, well done all!

@coolparadisoMod 4d

Hardly surprising this is good - a great trio of names make this so good! Kristis lyrics have always been some of my favourites and with Nadias piano and Kates vocals what else could this be - but top notch.

@kristi 4d

Wow, this is so gripping! Nadia’s music soaring along with Kate’s beautiful vocal. What a combination! Both are so expressive and take us on a journey. Those “oohs” after “can’t ignore” add a lot to the emotion. Wonderful. Thank you both for this!

@musicsongwriter 4d

Thank you so much Kristi. Your lyrics are so inspiring and I'm delighted with your beautiful words and Kate's beautiful vocals. Love the melody, love how our song turned out.

A triumphant triumvirate of music, lyrics and vocal. Well done!

this fulfills the classic definition of an art song. ane kate stanton is my favorite singer of nadia cripps' music. in fact, a few years ago i had the idea to ask kate to replace my vocals on the songs i wrote with nadia with her own vocal interpretations...but i didnt have the courage to ask her. that's all right though, because i can hear it in my head how those songs might have sounded..

@katestantonsings 4d

Thank you so much, Bill!! I respect both you & Nadia so much. Means the world!! We had so many fun collabs a few years back. Fond memories--Pink Lipstick, Estrella's Pikachu Song! I spent so much time creating her little Pokemon card (help from my daughter) :)
